you give them all a hug before waving as you approach security. you've never flown alone. security went pretty smooth. you had terrible service and none of your texts would send. you sit in your terminal all alone eating chick-fil-a. you're stomach hurts. you poke around at your food when your phone buzzes. your texts went through. finally.

you board and find your seat and begin to look at your downloaded podcasts. the plane takes off and the boy sitting beside you says something. you take out an earbud.

A | thank you.
chase | no problem. thank you so much for talking to me. i'm glad i didn't sit by some old lady again.
you laugh and walk off the plane with him. you open your snap from payton. he said "meeting complete". you snap back a photo of you and chase saying "yayy!! how'd it go." you and chase get your bags and you have to say goodbye. you give him a hug as you part ways. on your way out of the airport a girl walks over to you.
